Authorities found a Texas woman’s body this morning after her car was swept away in high water, officials said.
Sandra Jones, 33, was found dead at 8:41 a.m., according to the Johnson
County Sheriff’s Office. Her body was found downstream from where her
car was located after an overnight rain storm caused flooding, officials
said in a press
release.
According to the Associated Press, Jones' car was washed off the road in
floods 10 to 12 feet above Rock Creek and emergency services received a
911 call early this morning for a rescue at Rock Creek Bridge. Deputies
were able to inspect the vehicle around 4 a.m., when the water lowered.
They did not find Jones inside.
Officials said that the Johnson County Sheriff's Office, Johnson County
Emergency Management, Johnson County Emergency Services District and
several local fire departments participated in the search mission.
Johnson County Sheriff's Office spokesman Tim Jones told ABC News today
that the area is expecting another night of rainfall starting in the
late afternoon. Sheriff Bob Alford of the Johnson County Sheriff’s
Office has urged residents to avoid driving on flooded roads.
